Allied forces action in Pak territory could be taken as attack: Musharraf

ISLAMABAD: President Musharraf has warned US coalition forces that any unilateral action taken against militants along the Pak-Afghan border will be regarded as an invasion.

Speaking to foreign media, President Musharraf said Islamabad would resist any attempt of the coalition forces to hunt down militants in Pak-controlled regions.

Musharraf called U-S Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton's proposal to deploy U-S teams in Pakistan to safeguard its nuclear assets an intrusion of privacy.

The president's remarks were in response to reports that the U-S government was considering increasing the authority of the C-I-A and the military to conduct covert operations in Pakistan.

President Musharraf also added that he would resign if the next elected government sought his impeachment.
